Cycling day trip from Lazise to Verona

Set off from the charming lakeside town of Lazise, with its medieval walls and waterfront promenades on Lake Garda’s southeastern shore. This route whisks you southeast towards Verona, winding through rolling countryside, olive groves, and peaceful villages. It’s mostly paved (so leave the mountain bike at home) and you’ll spend much of your journey on quiet cycleways and tranquil roads—perfect for soaking up some sunshine and Italian scenery.

You’ll climb gentle hills (ascent tops out around 159 meters, nothing too intimidating), but the pay-off is a net descent as you head towards the historic city of Verona. Plan for about 30 kilometers in the saddle—enough for a satisfying trip without wearing you out.

Arriving in Verona, you’re treated to the city of Romeo and Juliet, crowned by the fabulous Roman Arena and bustling piazzas. Grab a gelato or an espresso before you start exploring! Whether you’re in it for the scenery, the history, or just a sweet ride, this route delivers a proper taste of northern Italy.
